YEARLY FINANCIAL IMPACT OF HIGH NO SHOW RATE
Total Revenue Now Total Revenue at Goal No Show Rate *Revenue data assumes $80 professional services revenue and $118 facility revenue for every family medicine visit. Then, from historical data, it is assumed that 3% of every patient that comes to clinic will be admitted to the hospital during the year and that every inpatient visit generates $5,444 of additional revenue.

Control group – No intervention is employed for these patients, they receive the same reminder letters and reminder messages that every patient receives Crafted Letter – This letter has ‘social norm’ theory language geared at ‘nudging’ patients towards arriving at appointments and was sent at the beginning of the study Crafted Text Message – This text message has abbreviated ‘social norm’ theory language and is sent either 5 days prior or 1 day prior to an appointment depending
Scripted Staff Phone Call – This phone call is performed by the AU staff and is a personal scripted reminder 5 days prior to an appointment
